Raquetes de neu a Vallter

This snowshoeing excursion through the Girona Pyrenees begins its journey at the Vallter 2000 ski resort, in Ripollès, which we do not step on as we only leave in the opposite direction to the resort. We climb up the side of a stream until we reach the Portella de Mantet, a long and beautiful plain with perfect views of the Canigó, which is very close in a straight line. On a clear day we can see from the sea to Montserrat. We will walk along this beautiful plain to the top of Coma Ermada (2,496 m) and we will return along the same path. It is an ideal excursion for all those people who start with snowshoes and who want to make a simple but very interesting excursion.

• Snowshoeing and the construction of igloos begin their journey at the Vallter ski resort, which we do not step on as we head towards the Ull de Ter refuge. We climb up the side of a stream to reach the refuge, from here we will look for the location where we can make the igloo (this will take us about an hour of walking). The construction of the igloo will be done by compacting snow with some buried backpacks where once the backpacks are removed we will have a cavity where if one day we have to stay to sleep in the mountains, inside the igloo you have to think that we will always be about 0º and the wind will not touch us.
• It is a great activity for families as the little ones will have a great time playing and building the igloo.
